The energy beings should have ships that have like,,, Basically no armor, plenty of shields (fighter-type craft would be 12 armor, 160 shields)
Basic weapons could be... hmmm... Names,names! The Scalpel, a thin, white
beam weapon that has a grey corona and does 2 mass dmg, 3 energy dmg.
This means that if it goes unchecked it will cause serious harm to your ship. We could compensate by making it short ranged, but no thunderhead lance ramming, that would be dull with hordes of stubby, white beams and ships swarming the screen trying to hit their foe. If we make them inertialess, it would get too Vell-Os-like,
so we could make them move normally and everyone will be happy expect for their enemies.
Their engine glows could be diferent if we made them particle-esque, or like rings of energy that drift behind the ships and eventually peter out... The two appendages
on the small ship i sent ZerakToman could glow as a special weapon effect. Tell me if you others want that concept picture i made.
